Canada/New England Light House Tours - Seeking Recommendations.

[ninsianna]

I have a family cruise coming up in October with stops at Portland, Maine; Bar Harbor, Maine; Saint John's Bay, NB; and Halifax, NS.  Everyone is super excited about lighthouses.  Which port would be the best one to do a lighthouse tour?  We'll have my grandmother with us, so something like a boat ride our bus ride with minimal walking would be ideal.  However, if there are more active tours available that are not to be missed, my cousin and I may do something like that, while we send our moms and grandmother on the low activity tour.  

 

We'r renting a car in Halifax to drive out to Peggy's Cove, so we're game for going out on our own as well.

We are going to ride the mail boat run in Portland, Me. It is a regular ferry that leaves from the State pier.   It visits most of the islands in Casco Bay.  It sails near the various light houses.  There is often a little bit of a narrative on the ship. But, it is not a tour.

Most of the lighthouses you would see on a tour in Portland, you will see during sailing into/out of port.  Here is another thread about Portland, where I give my recommendations, and some photos from another poster:

In Portland, Maine we are doing a "City & Lighthouse Tour" combined with a "Harbor Lights & Sights Cruise" with this company:
